How to send to a program that resists sent keys

Hello everyone

I'm trying to send keys to a specific program on my computer (using "Send"), but all keys sent to it simply disappear (i.e. the program does not respond to those keys being sent). For example, Send ("{LEFT}") does nothing in that program, but if I press the LEFT arrow on my keyboard, the left-arrow action works perfectly.

Some Hotkeys also don't work with this program... I had to try a couple to find a hotkey that works (e.g. if NumpadAdd is the Hotkey, then pressing NumpadAdd while I'm using that program simply types a "+" in that program, while in any other program the Hotkey works fine). This isn't related to NumLock.

The program is LocStudio, but I doubt if many people here have it. It's an Excel look-alike with cells into which I must paste hundreds of little snippets of text.

Anything you can think of that might help AutoIt to overcome the resistance?

Thanks
Samuel
